In-Band Management
In-band network management allows you to manage, control, and monitor the
IntraChassis 9000 over the Ethernet network.
You can perform these functions by accessing the IntraChassis 9000 via any of
the following methods:
By connecting with a Telnet program and using the Local Manage-
ment Interface.
By connecting with any World Wide Web browser, and using the
Web Management Interface.
By connecting with any SNMP-based network management applica-
tion and using its interface.
To manage the IntraChassis 9000 via in-band management, use the following
procedure.
1 Make sure the network to which the IntraChassis 9000 is
connected is functioning.
2 Make sure the IntraChassis 9000 is configured with valid IP
information.
See “Configuring for Management” earlier in this chapter.
3 Connect to the IntraChassis 9000 via Telnet, with a Web
browser, or with any SNMP-based network management
application.
Telnet
Use a network connection to any PC and enter the telnet command to
access the IntraChassis 9000. The Main Menu of the Management Interface
will appear. Go on to the “Management Interface” section below.
Note: Almost all management screens using a Telnet con-
nection are identical to those of the out-of-band Console
Interface. On the Main Menu, however, there will be a q
option for closing the connection to the IntraChassis 9000.
Web Browser
Refer to Chapter 6, “Web Browser Management”, for information on managing
the IntraChassis 9000 with a Web browser.
